What Do You Want For Tea?

I want CRISPS! (Kaiser Chiefs)

Lyric of the year? Post your favourite...


EDIT: I should have made this OP clearer. What I am looking for here is the most memorable lyric of the year - the one that stands out...

For instance, for 2002 the lyric that fits this description the best is surely Shakira's "Lucky that my breasts are small and humble / so you don't confuse them with mountains"...

Oh dear. That went down like a sack of, er, crisps didn't it?

I think there was confusion as to whether you meant best or worst lyric of the year.

Whichever

More "most memorable", i.e. that stands out like the one in the OP does.

Ahhhh. In that case, "and I just can't keep my clothes from falling down/and we've only got tonight so make it count" by ver Danities in 'Striptease.'

Or possibly 'If I had a stiff one you'd be all on that' from Like Me by 'Girlicious.'

Or in fact actually 'I should be in Iraq, shawty, cus I am the bomb' by young Ciara. Or 'I guess it's really over, so come over, I'm not over it' from the younger Simpson. Or for me personally and probably not many other poptimists, the entire of 'Flight Of The Knight Bat' by Zimmer's Hole. :D

It's been a pretty good year for memorable lyrics. :D

I think you've been listening to a different playlist to me - I'm not familiar with any of those (apart from Ciara).

For me the runner-up, I think, behind the OP's lyric is from Alphabeat - '10000 Nights': "I was not looking for arty-fartsy love".

As for my vote for best lyric of the year - that's easy.

From Frank Turner's song 'Photosynthesis' (http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=mQMVHhxTtLc), the moment when an already great song catches fire:

"And if all you ever do with your life / is just photosynthesize
Then you'll deserve every hour of your sleepless nights / that you waste wondering when you're gonna die"
